This is one way in which endurance ride managers are lucky compared to some other disciplines. The AERC lets the ride manager decide how to measure the course, and takes his word for the length (unless a protest is filed). If, say, you were putting on a Marathon, the sanctioning organization would send a steward at YOUR expense to measure the course and verify that it met the required standards before your sanctioning would be approved. -- Joe Long jlong@xxxxxxxx http://www.rnbw.com ============================================================ Every horse can be taught to walk faster than you think. It is one of the most important qualities of a good riding horse. Some have it naturally, others need to learn. On the other hand, if you are riding a tired horse, an easy jog is more efficient, covers more groumnd with less effort.
